RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND IMPORTANCE: Moyamoya syndrome causes progressive stenosis of intracranial internal carotid arteries and may be associated with genetic disorders like Down's or Turner's syndromes. We treated a male pseudohermaphrodite patient with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) with clinical and radiological features of moyamoya vasculopathy. To our knowledge, this association has not been reported. CLINICAL PRESENTATION: The 42-year-old patient presented with an intraventicular bleed. Cerebral angiography revealed moyamoya vasculopathy. He was hypertensive and had primary amenorrhea. Secondary sexual characteristics were poorly developed and he had ambiguous genitalia. Breast development was Tanner stage 3. Investigation revealed hypokalemia. With primary amenorrhea, persistent hypokalemia, hypertension and ambiguous genitalia, CAH was considered as a possibility and confirmed on hormone profile. Karyotyping revealed 46XY pattern. Abdominal ultrasound revealed hyperplasia of the adrenal glands, absent uterus and ovaries and ectopic testicles in inguinal canals. He was put on steroids and his blood pressure controlled. CONCLUSIONS: To the best of our knowledge we report the first case of moyamoya syndrome occurring in association with CAH.

RESUMO

A young adult patient with 46XX congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) presented with recurrent painful haematuria. CAH was diagnosed at birth following ambiguous genitalia. Hormonal treatment was started, female gender was assigned and feminising genitoplasty was planned, however the patient was lost to follow-up. Gender dysphoria started to occur during childhood which prompted the family to raise the patient as a boy. He eventually identified himself as a male. Examination revealed a male phenotype with severely virilised genitalia. Imaging studies confirmed the presence of uterus with low confluent urogenital sinus. Total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy was performed, and the troublesome symptoms were cured.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the odds of a behavioral health diagnosis among youth with differences of sex development (DSD) or congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) compared with matched controls in the PEDSnet database. STUDY DESIGN: All youth with a diagnosis of DSD (n = 1216) or CAH (n = 1647) and at least 1 outpatient encounter were extracted from the PEDSnet database and propensity-score matched on 8 variables (1:4) with controls (n = 4864 and 6588, respectively) using multivariable logistic regression. The likelihood of having behavioral health diagnoses was examined using generalized estimating equations. RESULTS: Youth with DSD had higher odds of a behavioral health diagnosis (OR, 1.7; 95% CI, 1.4-2.1; P < .0001) and neurodevelopmental diagnosis (OR, 1.7; 95% CI, 1.4, 2.0; P < .0001) compared with matched controls. Youth with CAH did not have an increased odds of a behavioral health diagnosis (OR, 1.0; 95% CI, 0.9, 1.1; P = .9) compared with matched controls but did have higher odds of developmental delay (OR, 1.8; 95% CI, 1.4, 2.4; P < .0001). CONCLUSIONS: Youth with DSD diagnosis have higher odds of a behavioral health or neurodevelopmental diagnosis compared with matched controls. Youth with CAH have higher odds of developmental delay, highlighting the need for screening in both groups.

RESUMO

Congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) are an expanding group of metabolic disorders that result from abnormal protein glycosylation. A special subgroup of CDG type II comprises defects in the Conserved Oligomeric Golgi Complex (COG). In order to further delineate the genotypic and phenotypic spectrum of COG complex defect, we describe a novel variant of COG6 gene found in homozygosity in a Moroccan patient with severe presentation of COG6-CDG (OMIM #614576). We compared the phenotype of our patient with other previously reported COG6-CDG cases. Common features in COG6-CDG are facial dysmorphism, growth retardation, microcephaly, developmental disability, liver or gastrointestinal disease, recurrent infections, hypohidrosis/hyperthermia. In addition to these phenotypic features, our patient exhibited a disorder of sexual differentiation, which has rarely been reported in COG6-CDG. We hypothesize that the severe COG6 gene mutation interferes with glycosylation of a disintegrin and metalloprotease family members, inhibiting the correct gonadal distal tip cells migration, fundamental for the genitalia morphogenesis. This report broadens the genetic and phenotypic spectrum of COG6-CDG and provides further supportive evidence that COG6-CDG can present as a disorder of sexual differentiation.

RESUMO

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the quality of life (QoL) and psychological well-being in child and adolescent with disorders of sex development (DSD). Methods: Sixty-two cases, aged 2-18 years, who were followed by a multidisciplinary DSD team were included. All participants and their parents were requested the complete the Pediatric Quality Of Life Inventory (PedsQL) and the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire. The psychiatric diagnoses of the patients were evaluated according to Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School-Age Children/Present and Lifetime Turkish Version. Results: There was no significant difference between the 46,XX DSD and 46,XY DSD groups for both child and parent in Total PedsQL score. In the subscale scores, the PedsQL Physical Functionality Score reported by children was significantly lower for the 46,XX DSD group than for the 46,XY DSD group (p=0.01). There was a psychiatric diagnosis in 25.8% of cases. The PedsQL School Functionality Score reported by children in the group with psychiatric diagnosis was significantly lower than the group without psychiatric diagnosis (p=0.018). In the group with psychiatric diagnosis, the PedsQL Total Score and the subscale scores (Emotional Functionality Score, Social Functionality Score, School Functionality) reported by parents were significantly lower than in parents of the group without psychiatric diagnosis. Conclusion: This study emphasized that psychiatric disorders in DSD patients negatively affect the QoL. Psychiatric support and counseling from a multidisciplinary team are very important for families affected by DSD.

RESUMO

A term infant with prenatally noted ambiguous genitalia and nonpalpable gonads presented with life-threatening hyponatremia, hypertension, acidosis, and anuric renal failure requiring peritoneal dialysis at age 3 months.Sequencing confirmed 46, XY Denys-Drash syndrome (DDS) due to heterozygous Wilms tumor-1 exon 8 mutation encoding p.His445Arg. Renal US identified bilateral multifocal renal masses at age 8 months. Bilateral retroperitoneal nephrectomies found bilateral nephroblastomatosis without Wilms' tumor avoiding chemotherapy, followed by bilateral laparoscopic orchiopexies. We suggest monthly screening of 46, XY DSD cases for DDS by evaluating for proteinuria and electrolyte disarray starting at diagnosis of DSD to prevent acute life-threatening renal failure presentation.

RESUMO

La concepción cultural del deporte como una actividad predominantemente masculina ha dificultado la participación de algunos grupos sociales como mujeres, personas trans o intersexuales. El carácter sexuado del deporte se apoya en las diferencias fisiológicas entre mujeres y hombres, y una supuesta desventaja de las mujeres. Por ello, se establecen pruebas de sexo para las mujeres y el acceso de las personas trans e intersexuales se ve obstaculizado. En este estudio reconstruimos, a partir de las normativas y el contexto socio-histórico internacional, la evolución de la participación de personas trans e intersexuales en el deporte competitivo contemporáneo. Asimismo, se profundiza en la aplicación y gestión de dichas normas en el contexto español, apoyado en tres casos de deportistas trans e intersexuales españoles. La discriminación y humillación que han sufrido estas personas obliga a mantener una visión crítica de las políticas deportivas creadas hasta la actualidad


The cultural conception of sport as a predominantly male activity has hindered the participation of some social groups such as women, transsexual or intersex people. The sexed nature of sport is based on physiological differences between women and men, and a supposed women disadvantage. Thus, sex controls are established for women and then trans and intersex people's access to sport is hampered. In this study we reconstruct, based on the regulations and the international socio-historical context, the evolution of the participation of transsexual and intersex people in contemporary competitive sport. Likewise, the application and management of these norms in the Spanish context is deepened, supported by three cases of Spanish transsexual and intersex athletes. The discrimination and humiliation suffered by these persons enforce to maintain a critical vision of the sports policies hitherto created

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Differences/disorders of sex development (DSD) or 'intersex' encompass a broad range of congenital variations in the complex pathways involved in the development of sex characteristics. Components of these pathways include sex chromosomes, genes involved in gonadal development, hormone production and action, and the development of internal and external genital structures. Many variations are rare, and some (eg congenital adrenal hyperplasia) are associated with urgent medical needs. People born with variations in sex characteristics may present in the neonatal period with atypical genitalia, during childhood and adolescence with atypical pubertal development or in adulthood with hormone imbalance, fertility issues and/or sexual health concerns. OBJECTIVE: An overview of DSD is presented in relation to presenting features and management challenges in the paediatric population. DISCUSSION: An experienced multidisciplinary team that uses a shared decision-making approach with a medical, surgical, ethical, psychological and human rights framework is required to maximise long-term positive outcomes for people born with variations in sex characteristics.

RESUMO

We have searched the literature for information on the risk of breast cancer (BC) in relation to gender, breast development, and gonadal function in the following 8 populations: 1) females with the Turner syndrome (45, XO); 2) females and males with congenital hypogonadotropic hypogonadism and the Kallmann syndrome; 3) pure gonadal dysgenesis (PGD) in genotypic and phenotypic females and genotypic males (Swyer syndrome); 4) males with the Klinefelter syndrome (47, XXY); 5) male-to-female transgender individuals; 6) female-to-male transgender individuals; 7) genotypic males, but phenotypic females with the complete androgen insensitivity syndrome, and 8) females with Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome (müllerian agenesis). Based on this search, we have drawn 3 major conclusions. First, the presence of a Y chromosome protects against the development of BC, even when female-size breasts and female-level estrogens are present. Second, without menstrual cycles, BC hardly occurs with an incidence comparable to males. There is a strong correlation between the lifetime number of menstrual cycles and the risk of BC. In our populations the BC risk in genetic females not exposed to progesterone (P4) is very low and comparable to males. Third, BC has been reported only once in genetic females with MRKH syndrome who have normal breasts and ovulating ovaries with normal levels of estrogens and P4. We hypothesize that the oncogenic glycoprotein WNT family member 4 is the link between the genetic cause of MRKH and the absence of BC women with MRKH syndrome.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Many individuals with differences of sex development experience subfertility. We describe a novel gonadal tissue cryopreservation protocol for those individuals. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Before 2018 patients with differences of sex development electing gonadal tissue cryopreservation were enrolled in a cancer focused protocol. Thereafter, our hospital developed a protocol specifically for these patients undergoing gonadectomy due to neoplasia risk. Protocol development steps and procedures are reported. A retrospective chart review was conducted for patient characteristics and cryopreservation choices. RESULTS: During the institutional review board approval process there were multidisciplinary meetings with stakeholders. The main concerns discussed included preoperative counseling, pathological evaluation and final tissue disposition. Detailed multidisciplinary preoperative counseling is provided regarding potential gonadal tissue cryopreservation for patients undergoing gonadectomy. For enrolled patients the gonad is bisected after removal, with half being sent to pathology and half being processed for cryopreservation. If neoplasia is noted, cryopreserved tissue is recalled for further pathological analysis. Postoperative counseling is performed after pathology results are available, and the final gonadal tissue cryopreservation decision is made. During the study period 7 patients with 5 diagnoses and a median age of 10.99 years (IQR 1.29 to 14.84) elected to attempt gonadal tissue cryopreservation. Of the patients 4 (57%) had germ cells and elected to store tissue. CONCLUSIONS: Gonadal tissue cryopreservation at the time of gonadectomy is feasible for patients with differences of sex development at risk for gonadal neoplasia. The protocol described represents a template for institutions wishing to offer gonadal tissue cryopreservation to patients electing gonadectomy. More than half of patients thus far have cryopreserved gonadal tissue.

RESUMO

Disorders of Sex Development (DSD) are congenital anomalies in which there is a discordance between chromosomal, genetic, gonadal, and/or internal/external genital sex. In XY individuals, the process of fetal sex differentiation can be disrupted at the stage of gonadal differentiation, resulting in gonadal dysgenesis, a form of early fetal-onset primary hypogonadism characterized by insufficient androgen and anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) production, which leads to the development of ambiguous or female genitalia. The process of sex differentiation can also be disrupted at the stage of genital differentiation, due to isolated defects in androgen or AMH secretion, but not both. These are forms of fetal-onset hypogonadism with dissociated gonadal dysfunction. In this review, we present a perspective on impaired testicular endocrine function, i.e., fetal-onset male hypogonadism, resulting in incomplete virilization at birth.

RESUMO

Aim To highlight the complexity of infertility causes by describing the rare case of a man with a testicular disorder of sexual differentiation. Diagnosis A 33 years old Caucasian male presented with a 3-year-old history of primary infertility. His investigations revealed a low testosterone and a raised LH and FSH levels. A sample sent for sperm analysis revealed azoospermia. Chromosomal analysis and karyotyping revealed a 46 XX SRY positive karyotype. Treatment The patient was initiated on testosterone replacement and on calcium/vitamin D supplements. Conclusion Fertility evaluation requires complex assessments and a broad knowledge of possible causes.

RESUMO

Background Psychiatric consultation is important in the follow-up of disorders of sex development (DSD) patients. In this study, we aimed to present the 12-year psychiatric follow-up data of the patients who were referred by Ege University Medical Faculty DSD Multidisciplinary Team and followed up in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. Methods Psychiatric data of 118 patients, who were followed by the DSD multidisciplinary team between 2007 and 2019, were reviewed retrospectively. The psychiatric diagnoses of the patients were evaluated according to semi-structured interview form Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School-Age Children/Present and Lifetime Turkish Version. Results The mean age of the 118 cases was 13.21 years (±7.18). Endocrine diagnoses of the cases were 46 XX DSD in 35 (29.6%), 46 XY DSD in 81 (68.7%), and chromosome disorders in 2 (1.7%). There was at least psychiatric diagnosis in 36 (30.5%) cases. The most common psychiatric diagnosis was attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) (n = 18, 15.3%). ADHD was most common in congenital adrenal hyperplasia (n = 4, 22.4%) and androgen synthesis defects (ASD) (n = 4, 22.4%); depression was most common in complete gonadal dysgenesis and ASD (n = 3, 23.1%); and mental retardation was most common in ASD (n = 3, 37.5%). Conclusions In order to provide a healthy perspective for cases with DSD, it is important to make a psychiatric evaluation and to share observations and clinical findings in regular team meetings.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Patients with disorders/differences of sex differentiation/development (DSD) are exposed to physical and mental suffering. The aim of the study was to assess the following: the mental health status and the risk of mental problems in adult DSD patients, their dependence on therapeutic procedures, and to identify groups of disorders that require particular psychological support. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study involved 59 patients with DSD (gonadal dysgenesis - GD, androgen insensitivity syndrome - AIS, 5-alpha reductase deficiency, ovotestis), and with the Y chromosome in the karyotype, aged 16-65 years. All completed the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28) for the assessment of their mental health status. Raw results were converted into sten scores using norms for the Polish adult population to assess the risk of mental problems. RESULTS: A high risk of mental problems was identified in 24% of individuals (26% men, 21% women). Women, when compared with men, displayed a significantly higher mean level of anxiety and insomnia (7.3 vs. 4.6 scores) and somatic symptoms (7.4 vs. 5.5), and worse general mental health status (25.6 vs. 18.8). The most disturbing symptoms were observed among patients with complete and partial AIS, and complete GD (general mental health status: 39.5, 24.3, and 24.2, respectively), women lacking a vagina (27.2), and without an enlarged clitoris (27.5). Patients after genital surgery had significantly fewer somatic symptoms (5.4 vs. 7.8; p < 0.05) and better general mental health status in comparison to those without surgery (20.1 vs. 24.9; p < 0.05). No significant differences were observed between patients using hormone replacement therapy and those who were not. CONCLUSIONS: The individuals with DSD and Y chromosome in the karyotype have increased risk of developing mental problems in comparison to the general Polish population. The risk factors seem to be as follows: female gender, the lack of a vagina, the lack of virilisation (no enlarged clitoris), and no genital operations performed. In some cases, sex hormone replacement therapy may be also the risk of mental problems. Particularly vulnerable groups are CAIS, PAIS, and CGD. The psychological support and an individual approach to particular needs of these patients is necessary.

RESUMO

Introduction According to the current classification of the Lawson Wilkins Pediatric Endocrine Society (LWPES) and the European Society for Pediatric Endocrinology (ESPE) of Disorders of Sex Development (DSD), etiologies vary around the world. Ethnic or genetic diversity probably explains this variability. We therefore conducted the present study on etiologies of DSDs in a country from central Africa. Methods We carried out an observational retrospective study at the Pediatric Endocrinology Unit of the Mother and Child Centre of the Chantal Biya Foundation in Yaounde, Cameroon from May 2013 to December 2019. All patients diagnosed with a DSD were included, and incomplete files excluded. Results We included 80 patients diagnosed with DSD during the study period. The 46,XX DSD were the most frequent in our study population (n = 41, 51.25%), with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) as the main diagnosis. The 46,XY DSD accounted for 33.75% and sex chromosome DSD group represented 15% of the study population. Conclusions DSDs are not an exceptional diagnosis in a Sub-Saharan context. 46,XX DSD are the most prevalent diagnosis in our setting. The diagnosis of all these affections is late compared to other centers, justifying advocacy for neonatal screening of DSDs in our context.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Differences of sexual development (DSD) affect the development of internal reproductive organs and external genitalia. Ectopic kidney is a rare and challenging pathology causing amongst others incontinence and recurrent urinary tract infections. Those pathologies may in certain cases be an indication for surgery. This manuscript aims to evaluate the role of robot-assisted laparoscopy in the surgical treatment of patients with ectopic kidneys or DSD. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A prospective database is maintained in a tertiary referral center with all robotic surgeries performed in children. From this database, a prospective series of robot-assisted resection of embryologic remnants located in the pelvis was extracted: resection of a prostatic utricle cyst, removal of ectopic non-functional kidneys, and resection of a hemi-uterus. RESULTS: From an initial database including 72 patients, six patients met the inclusion criteria. Three male patients presenting with utricle cysts, two young girls presenting with ectopic kidneys, and one young boy with pelvic embryological remnants of the uterus, were further evaluated. CONCLUSION: Surgical treatment of patients with DSD is safe, feasible, and a good indication for robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery, as both deep dissection and reconstruction in a limited surgical field are requested.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Disorders of sex development (DSD) affect the quality of life of people who live with this condition. In developing countries, diagnoses of DSD are associated with a delay in presentation until the patients developed ambiguous physical traits and features. PURPOSE: This study explores the menstrual experiences of people with DSD and sex reassignment in Nigeria. METHODS: A qualitative approach with a phenomenological study design was employed in this study to explore and describe the experiences of people with DSD at the Usmanu Danfodiyo University Teaching Hospital in Sokoto, Nigeria. The data were collected using face-to-face interviews, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed using NVivo software. RESULTS: The findings show that the participants experienced menstrual problems: men with menstruation and women with amenorrhea. The female participants generally described amenorrhea as a disappointment and linked menstruation with womanhood. Amenorrhea evinced both emotional and psychological effects. However, some of the female participants considered amenorrhea in a positive light and were happy with their lives without menstruation. The menstrual experiences of male participants included menarche, lower abdominal pain, regular monthly bleeding, and ovulation. The male participants described menstruation as a disaster in their lives and a source of anxiety, suicidal ideation, and depression. Menstruation negatively affected their psychosocial well-being. CONCLUSIONS: The menstrual experience of individuals with DSD negatively affects their quality of life. The women with DSD in this study showed a generally poor knowledge of menarche, menstruation, and puberty, indicating that their parents had ignored the initial symptoms of DSD. DSD were only recognized at puberty because of the development of ambiguous physical traits and of the onset of menstruation in men and the confirmation of amenorrhea in women.

RESUMO

A diagnosis of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) in a '46, XX' newborn with ambiguous genitalia is like a 'knee jerk reaction' of the paediatrician because of its higher frequency and life-threatening consequences if remain undiagnosed and hence untreated. Aromatase deficiency (AD), a rare cause of '46, XX' disorder of sex development, mimics virilising CAH in many aspects; thus, the disease is often overlooked. Diagnosis of AD in women is much easier around puberty due to the presence of primary amenorrhoea, undeveloped breasts, androgen excess and tall stature with eunuchoid proportions. Diagnosing AD with confidence immediately after birth or during early childhood is a challenging task without genetic analysis. In resource-restricted settings, AD remains a diagnosis of exclusion particularly in this age group and history of maternal virilisation, non-progressive genital ambiguity, elevated gonadotrophins (follicle-stimulating hormone >>luteinising hormone), mildly delayed bone age with/without enlarged polycystic ovaries serve as important clues to the underlying AD.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: We evaluated demographic, financial and support predictors of distress for parents of young children with disorders of sex development including atypical genital development, and characterized early parental experiences. This work extends our previous findings to identify those parents at risk for distress. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Participants included mothers (76) and fathers (63) of a child (78) diagnosed with disorders of sex development characterized by moderate to severe genital atypia. Parents completed a demographic questionnaire, measures of anxious and depressive symptoms, quality of life, illness uncertainty and posttraumatic stress symptoms, and rated their satisfaction with the appearance of their child's genitalia. RESULTS: Depressive and posttraumatic stress symptoms of caregivers were comparable to standardized norms while levels of anxious symptoms were below norms. A subset of parents reported clinically elevated symptoms. Overall 26% of parents reported anxious symptoms, 24% reported depressive symptoms and 17% reported posttraumatic stress symptoms. Levels of illness uncertainty were lower than those of parents of children with other chronic illnesses. Differences by parent sex emerged, with mothers reporting greater distress. Lower income, increased medical care and travel expenses, and having no other children were related to increased psychosocial distress. CONCLUSIONS: Early psychosocial screening is recommended for parents of children with disorders of sex development. Clinicians should be aware that financial burden and lack of previous parenting experience are risk factors for distress.
